Comerica Bank In Rochester Hills Michigan, Accused Of Racial Profiling After Repeatedly Denying A Black Woman From Cashing An Insurance Settlement Check, According To A Recently Filed Lawsuit – Detroit Michigan reporting

Shanquese Jones said ▶︎ she tried four times to cash a legitimate insurance settlement check worth $1,000, and that the bank continuously denied her.

Ms. Jones presented the signed check, and even submitted a thumbprint signature, her attorney. ▶︎ She was told that there was an issue with the check and that it needed to get reissued -- which she reportedly did four separate times.

Jones’ Attorney Brandon McNeal decided to try to test whether racial discrimination was actually at play.

Jones’ Attorney Brandon McNeal, sent a white customer with a Comerica Bank account to the same branch to cash an insurance settlement check for $1,000, the same as Jones’ check. McNeal said the white customer had “none of the same issues” cashing that check.

Jones believes she was unable to cash her check because of racial discrimination.

▶︎ McNeal said he’s comfortable putting the issue “in a jury’s hands” because the bank has essentially “stolen [Jones’] check and provided [her] with no recourse but to file this lawsuit.”
